The marketing for the sophomore season ofWednesdayis still being incredibly vague about the return of an important season 1 character, but the latest trailer perhaps reveals why Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday is desperate enough to turn to an old enemy for help.Wednesdayseason 2is said to be more horror-inspired than its predecessor, and Wednesday is already combating a friend’s supposed doom.
Wednesday is returning to the macabre Nevermore Academy, along with her brotherPugsley (Isaac Ordonez) enrolling as a new student.Wednesday is notoriously anti-social, but she still forged some important bonds during her first term,especially with her chipper werewolf roommate Enid (Emma Myers). It’s an oddly sweet moment when Wednesday actually hugs Enid back inWednesday season 1’s ending.
It shows how far Wednesday has come when she is willing to show genuine affection for others.In season 2, she is back to being resistant to fun and Enid’s frivolous plans, but no one hurts Wednesday’s loved ones,and a developing plot point could be the answer to how a secondary season 1 villain is pulled back into the fold.
Tyler Is Barely In Wednesday Season 2’s New Trailer
Amid Wednesday’s Worries About Enid, Tyler Is Only Briefly Seen
InWednesdayseason 2’s full trailer, we only briefly see Tyler (Hunter Doohan), Wednesday’s previous love interest, who is also sometimes a Hyde monster. Upon Marilyn Thornhill’s (Christina Ricci) downfall last season, Tyler was caught and subdued, and previous marketing has suggested that Wednesday, at some point, goes to his prison to request his aid in season 2.
The latest trailer is mostly preoccupied withWednesday’s bold replacement for her viral dancesequence in the form of a masquerade ball, as well as Wednesday now having visions that Enid will die, and it will be her fault.The circumstances of Enid’s allegedly forthcoming death are still unclear, but Wednesday shares her fearswith her mother Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones).
Wednesday will take what help she can get if it means saving Enid.
So, amid a “The Phantom of the Opera” theme and many impressive stars joiningWednesdayseason 2’s cast, primarily as Nevermore faculty members,Wednesday is on a quest to prevent this future.But the glimpse of Tyler saying"run" in the trailer, followed by Enid looking fearful, then Tyler’s Hyde form in action, hints that the two plot points could be connected.
Enid’s Story Hints That Wednesday Turns To Tyler For Help In Season 2
Does Wednesday Need Advice Or Muscle To Help Her Friend?
Having visions of a loved one’s death and doing everything to prevent it is a trope that I hopeWednesdayis able to incorporate well,as it could be used to elevate Wednesday and Enid’s friendship. Another trope that the second season could skillfully subvert is wherein the hero turns to a former enemy when a worse threat arises.
Wednesday may go to Tyler if he can help her save Enid.If Enid’s death is the result of something going wrong with her werewolf transformations, Tyler may be able to weigh indue to his dubious control over his Hyde form. Or Wednesday may simply need another hand in an oncoming fight, and the Hyde is certainly physically powerful.
The trailer also hints that she will need to delve further into Addams Family history to save Enid, and she may just be covering all her bases when it comes to Tyler’s involvement with the Crackstone family. Regardless, Wednesday will take what help she can get if it means saving Enid inWednesdayseason 2.
